If This Video Gets Over 5000 Likes I will go back and release part 2 of the video and show the inside ;) In this video we explore an Abandoned Glass Mansion From 13th Ghost Found In The Middle Of Nowhere Getting 13th ghost vibes from this place! It was built in the 80s and abandoned in 2003! So many rumors about this place that a druglord lored lived here or an Arabian prince but I think the dude just went bankrupt and left it.

Wow Steve, you were in my neck of the woods! This home was built by a Saudi prince in 1979. He purchased the property for $6 million but then sold the property to a development partnership in 1986 for $16 million. The 12,000 sq-ft home has an indoor pool and squash courts. He only lived there for a month before abandoning it. In 1996 another developer purchased the property and opened a golf course but it went under. Around 2013 the owner at the time was arrested for a $5 million Ponzi scheme involving his purchase of the golf course/property. In 2016 it went back on the market as a golf course with plans to renovate the mansion. Obviously that never happened. Basically, it's a money pit due to the attached golf course. I'd post a link to the articles but I don't want to give away the location. Hope you can get in! EDIT: I didn't disclose the location out of respect for Steve's wishes. It's not hard to find. Take my research and figure it out for yourself. (The ones being rude about it are likely the ones that will destroy it.)
I about fell obwr and died of laughyer wjen he said "that's a huge radar" honey you must be young because that's a satilite for TV like old school dish network before there was google fiber. Lol
@@christopherpooler5398 Me too!! I even made my husband watch and we laughed together!! My father still has a huge one out on his property and the grandkids made a pretty cool fort out of it!!
Why would you want good water absorption on your roof? Couldn't that cause leaks in the ceiling? I'm not asking to be mean or a smarta** I really want to know:) thank you in advance:)
not sure about the water absorption bit but built into the hill that way is too keep cost down on heating and cooling... building underground requires a lot less to heat and cool going just a few into the mountain can make it so those parts of the place do not require any heating or cooling as it will stay a steady degree year round
@@dennisparker7541 I would guess the glass everywhere would balance those cost savings out. It must have been ridiculously hot in there during summertime without A.C We have a lot of glass and it's unbearable in summer time even with windows completely shut.
The grass insulates from extreme heat and cold. The glass allows natural light and heat during cold months. There appeared to be some older solar panels on one part of the roof that would power the ventilation system that would assist in keeping it a bit cooler in summer months. I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a rain water collection system in addition to a deep well for house water 👀
The house in 13 ghosts was built on set, this isn’t the same house. Still really neat though. The house they used to film was built from scratch with glass and steel beams.
I was gonna say thats not the house because most of the original was built with glass walls inside and not even that the house had a big atrium style area in the front of the house. And
So my girl walked in and asked what I was watching lol, she said all she heard was "We are getting wet for you" and "look how big it is" and wanted to see what the hell I was watching. Thanks! LMAO
No maid is gonna clean those high windows. Gonna have to hire window cleaners once every so often. They will clean ones they can reach but they re not gonna get on any ladders that’s for sure. I pay my house cleaners bi weekly, they don’t even clean my upper windows and they are house cleaners.
Steve I'm really disappointed you made a 25 minute video on a house you couldn't get in. I guess the good thing is it didn't really look all that spectacular on the inside. My curiosity lies in what's under the house!!
Brittany Lanning At least they didn’t break in. It’s someone’s property and if thugs were allowed in the place would be destroyed inside with spray paint and walls busted out destroyed. So at least these guys don’t break the law.
@@MrJrsdts Don't break the law? 😂 They break the law every time they enter a building or step foot on someone else's property. No I'm not saying they should've busted a window out to enter, I'm saying he shouldn't have posted a 25 minute long video of the outside of a house. Yea the house was amazing and worth showing but 25 minutes? Of them just wandering around? No not worth 25 minutes. Maybe adding it to the beginning of another video and telling the viewer there was no entry point but he still thought we would enjoy the house then proceed to another house would've been a better option. You completely missed the point of my comment.
@@Lexyf05 Then don't read them, simple as that, but get used to it cuz I comment on a lot of posts. That's what the comment section is for. I really could care less if I disappoint some strange person on the internet that I do not know. Wtf? 😂
If you find random bones laying about outside like that (especially in rural, natural, & wild places), it simply means that there are or were scavenging species in that area that scattered the bones around after the initial predation, it's not weird at all, & they can scatter them quite far.
It’s currently, and has been for many years, owned by the local HOA of the community near it. There is a shuttered 27 hole golf course in the property that they want to revive. The house is on one of the parcels near the edge of the golf course (not in the middle of nowhere) and was built by Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz. In 1979 but he only used it for 1 month as his home. It had changed hands many times and during that the golf course was built. There is a history of a scam involved with the course that caused it to close. The house was tied up for several years in litigation and the HOA purchased it to clarify ownership of it and the land. The intention was to renovate the 12,000 sq ft mansion as a clubhouse for the golf course once it reopened. Unfortunately, it has been 4 years since the purchase and plans are still underway. This house has been documented a few times on UA-cam but the HOA has requested each removed due to last vandalism and the community wishing to protect it for the future use.
Kathie Davis it is in Virginia. I usually wouldn’t help reveal a location but this home and the background on it are very well documented online. The legal battles and transfers of the property as well as history is easy to find. It is amazing, watching the video, that it’s presented as some crazy, hard to find location
Anonymous Adult something kind of cool is the house has both a indoor swimming pool and squash courts.. from what I understand, The HOA bought the property for $1 plus the tax balance. The golf course is 330 acres. They have been in the process of getting funding and plans to reopen the course and turn the 12,000 eq ft mansion into the country club since 2016. So, it’s not technically abandoned, just waiting to be revitalized. Oh, and no, it isn’t the house form 13 Ghost and most of the stories surrounding it is much. It’s just a house on a property, built by a prince that didn’t stay there and that has changed hands, some sketchy. A few times.
I think he was basically saying it looked like and reminded him of the 13 ghosts house many times during the video.He said he wasnt sure it was but it looked and reminded them of it.🤷♀️😁
Honest i believe this is the home the movie was inspired by and after all these years its STILL abandoned an not in Use.THERES A REASON ITS SHUT DOWN LIKE THIS. Weather its state reasons or safety reasons. Its a beautiful home but wouldn't dare ENTER..
Thats most definitely a ` Scarface Staircase" looks so beaufiful. The owner really had taste, love the house. I hope no one comes over to destroy those beautiful windows.
After watching this I fell back to sleep and had a dream that I was there exploring it with Steve and the guys! There were lots of UA-camrs there as well and we got inside. It was so real. Great dream! I used to explore empty and abandoned places when I lived in Colorado. I miss it. These urban explorers are inspiring me to do it again!
Been watching a long time now, watching this and the intro made me actually think , how amazing it is the places you've been and the buildings you've explored. You have taken us places we would never ever have imagined . I thank you , big time thank you for sharing your adventures, stay safe and wishing you well for the future . From Scotland UK Beware of ticks guys in long grass ,they're nasty little buggers that can cause long term illness .
Watched a show where a big group of 15-16 year olds were told to use a rotary phone. Funny asf..not one knew how it worked. I'm sure most kids do but..nope. These ones didn't have a clue
This is what we did for fun as kids, drive around at night looking for the old houses but never mansions! Thanks for bringing us along! So fun but safe in my house lol. God bless you all, stay safe. Always pray for protection & you'll be fine.
Would love to see the inside of this massive & unique mansion. Those windows leading to that view is incredible. Also, anyone else think it ironic a golf course on the property with all those windows?! Sounds like a horrible decision. 😂
Lets not... We know all we need to about these guys, & some bs movie, from listentening them babble speculation & nonsense about a building we don't even see & they did no research on smh!
Yes I would not everyone watching is an asshole. It would be cool to see the inside but I enjoyed seeing a place from the inside or out that I know without you guys I would never get to see. Thank you
My best friend had one in her backyard before Internet, it must have been 10-12 feet across, it was huge lol . It’s used to get tv stations from further away. Or they were anyways
@@kanadiankandy6647 Back in the 80's & 90's they got television stations from other countries. people in the US could watch foreign television channels.
Wow, Steve & Kyle, working together, one know's Great video coming up & Yes, well worth watching. Not familiar with #3, but now seeing Well Done Guy's.. Mansion for sure, interesting..
That leg bone was far too long to be a deer bone. If that were a deer bone, where was the knee joint? Certainly not that far down the bone. This was a human femur with part of the knee attached and I would say it was female.
Literally wasted 25 minutes of my life just to watch three guys walk around in circles talking to each other about a mansion that we didn’t even get to see the inside of.
Great video Steve. So glad to see how respectful you guys are. That was a really creepy place you went to. Too many things you could think might have happened there. The bones would have freaked me out! Thank you for sharing. 😊🇺🇸
It's already happening in a lot of places in the UK. People even grow vegetables on their roof 😂 or lots of flowers 🌸. Especially the ones you can put in a salad 🥗. "Eco-Homes" that are built into sides of hills, that kind of thing. I would love to live like that!
Cool video guys! The newer release of 13 Ghosts, October 26, 2001, was shot entirely around Lower Mainland, British Columbia. Keep exploring!! Keep adventuring!!✨✨✨✨
I absolutely love watching your channel. First, it's because of the structures you explore; second, your innocent take on things is so endearing to me. That said, "the additional underground rooms" are a septic drain field. Definently not a room you want to explore. Haha!
I did some research on this home. The guy who owned this and still does died in 2011 but the wife is still living. What's even more interesting the $10,000 property taxes are currently paid and have been paid since 1996
I am so glad you were able to upload this and that you have the patience and knowledge to figure it out. I was so worried that we weren't going to get to check it out. My grandfather loved horror movie's and got me hooked when I was a little girl , I'll give my age away Frankenstein and Dracula were in black & white , he would have loved 13 ghost's and especially Bran Stokers Dracula , that would have flipped him out 🐸 I wish I could give you 5,000 like's so you could straight to part 2 🤔
Maybe they will get a bunch of UA-camrs to go in on it and buy the mansion. Surely the building is big enough to have their own studio and adventure/exploration web channel.
I've NEVER been disappointed with his explores until now. Why didn't he wait until he could have access to the inside to do this explore, because this was a big let down!!
Why'd they even bother uploading such a great video?!?!?! 25 minutes of fuc**** walking around calling things by the wrong names? Most explorers wouldn't have wasted the time for us to watch a ton of nothing...
Love, love, love this home!!! Gorgeous property!!! Love the structure!!! Yes, make it your home! Check out the origin 1st! Good luck & thank you for sharing this fabulous property!!!❤️
This is Arthur Godfrey estate. A Saudi prince built that house when he bought it from Arthur. It’s actually for sale along with other homes on the property
If they could afford to build this house, it probably has one heck of a good air conditioner in there.....and maybe blackout drapes too......love this place!!!!
Here is my comment: you brought me all the way here and didn't go inside! About the bones, animals carry pieces around and fight fight over them. You must do a part 2.
Loved it! This home is an echo friendly. It’s designed to be part of the environmental architecture so it doesn’t take away from its beauty. It’s intended to be self sustaining e.g. the glass to bring in sun, warmth and underground/grass to cool off. That’s also why it seems partly underground. The inside if true to its purpose, should also be echo friendly and/or blend in with environment. Perhaps that’s why it’s all boarded up. Extreme weather would demolish it. That said, it’s creepy! Please, please let us know if you are successful in securing photos of the inside. Keep up the great work and making us part of this adventure. You guys ROCK! Be safe!
Steve you have officially become my favorite podcast show! I find myself drowning in episodes watching you wander through these spooky and sometimes downright Scary Mansions but what I love is that you seem so genuinely fascinated with these decaying and dilapidated structures! Real talk, I am too! I just don't have the balls to go in any of'em like you do! LOL
@Freaktograph did this mansion a few weeks ago and the owner nicely asked him to delete it because of all the vandalism. I'm not saying you should delete it. Just letting you know you may be contacted by him. And that would be an amazing house for UA-camrs.
We had one of those gigantic satellite dishes when I was growing up, as a younger kid. I loved it because I could watch my Nickelodeon shows & then tune into the central or pacific time zones & watch the same shows again. Snick. Lol. Loved it.
@@jamiejudd7146 Because it is sooooo expensive to remove, my Father-in-Law grows ivy of different kinds on it. You can barely see it now. It a giant ball of beautiful ivy.
The architecture is amazing . all these mansions really need people to live in them . so many homeless people and so sad to see a gorgeous home just wasting away. We normal people can't afford these homes but it would be a dream come true
Thirteen Ghosts is still one of my favorite movies. It’s so hard to get a good back story for a horror movie that isn’t too cheesy. So this is super cool!
@Christine Herrington , the government wouldn't use a house the is nothing but glass with with glass bubble over the swimming pool. Like I said the government is too smart for that. As for the animal bones they could have been killed by another animal.
@@buforddrake7635 13th Ghost was filmed in Canada around Vancouver and Surrey BC. Also wikipedia stated the Manson used in 13th Ghost was built for the film in 5 weeks. So who knows.
how come this video went up at 11pm last night, then was removed?, and now back on. very strange???. excellent video non the less steve. keep staying safe, and uploading exceptional videos
Out of all the videos that you took, this was the best mansion that i have seen. I wished you were able to go inside though. but thanks for using your drone since we were able to see a little inside the house and outside as well.
You would have to find out if there is even such a thing first. The vent he pointed to and said it was probably for a basement or underground area? Yeah, that was a ventilation tube for a septic tank.
Im completely HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE WITH THIS HOUSE!!! this is the best house i have EVER seen! Whoever designed this amazing house i needto know!! No offence you youngins but less talky..more housey k
I literally live I the neighborhood that is right next to it , I see that house everyday on my way out, there's a good amount history behind it. Really sad how much it's been broken into over the past couple of years, it just got boarded up within the past 3 years or so. My friends and I used to go up there all the time and walk around! The security system in the building still works and they do check ups on the house every couple of months or so. The police will come if the alarm goes off trust me :) i would know lol
That is the most amazing building I’ve ever seen it is both unique in appearance and ominous looking and I watched the movie the 13 th ghosts and loved the movie ! Great video!
Steve looks exactly like a friend of mine i once had.. he would buy me beers when i was broke af.. not a single bone of judgment in him.... we use to ride in the night... hang out on rail tracks discussing about life... good times
That looks like the house they used in the movie ‘The Glass House’. I’m always baffled by houses or mansions that end up abandoned. I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t sell it off cheap just to save it. Makes no sense.
This house didn't belong to a drug lord, any type of prince, it isn't anything paranormal, nor did the person just up and leave either. The original owner of this house was a business man who when to prison for a Ponzi scheme. I also know there is no part 2 to this video for the inside.
I grew up in a mansion (22 rooms) that was part solar (a lot of windows). So hard to clean the windows and they did not open. This actually reminds me so much of it. Probably closest to my old home compared to any other home I have seen before.
@@ginarozario8945 - 36th, so not exactly the most exciting of birthdays... Thanks everybody. I was trying to avoid all the celebratory things, but it's genuinely appreciated; birthdays have never been my thing, I'm more the Friday night type.
Definitely need part 2 with more info on previous owners, or present owners! Don't leave us hanging. Hit the town, & find dinner with chatty Kathy to tell all 😁
Hi Steve! This was a great find!! This house is beautiful! Hope your doing well and glad to see more and more awesome content from ya. Sending love and support from Kentucky
For being abandon it looked like it had some brand new boards on the window and the grass just look like it has not been mowed in a couple months because it would be a lot taller if it hasn't been mowed in a long time
So happy I found your channel..Yea it totally looks like the house from 13th ghost..i loooove that movie...I would love to visit this mansion ...im subscribing and bingeing your channel...Great video guys
10:16 - def NOT a radar, lol! It's a satellite dish for t.v. when they 1st started making them. Now they are much smaller & mount on your fence or roof :)
Try finding out more about the building. This is too much of a spectacular house design to be abandoned. There has to be a grand story behind it. I love history of a any kind as well. 😬
The roof covered in grass is not a poor attempt at disguise. It is called a "green roof" and they are becoming more popular as they provide an environmentally friendly, free source of insulation, allowing your home to remain cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter without the use of traditional insulation in the ceiling space. In a house that large, heating and cooling costs would be really high so introducing elements like this is a smart, effective way of reducing those costs. It also provides an area that can be used for recreation or to grow plants like vegetables, protected from animals that may otherwise destroy them if they were grown on the ground, like rabbits, etc.
Be cool if you guys bought it and filmed the restoration of it! I want to see inside as much as you guys! Steve I am with you, I believe there are under ground rooms, the pool is under ground.
If This Video Gets Over 5000 Likes I will go back and release part 2 of the video and show the inside ;)
In this video we explore an Abandoned Glass Mansion From 13th Ghost Found In The Middle Of Nowhere Getting 13th ghost vibes from this place! It was built in the 80s and abandoned in 2003! So many rumors about this place that a druglord lored lived here or an Arabian prince but I think the dude just went bankrupt and left it.

Well it’s definitely NOT the “13 Ghosts” house! I’ve seen that movie a hundred times..... but it is cool.
That house is in Vancouver BC
Well it was a movie set house built in Vancouver BC. Specially made so they wouldn’t get reflections

Honest i believe this is the home the movie was inspired by and after all these years its STILL abandoned an not in Use.THERES A REASON ITS SHUT DOWN LIKE THIS. Weather its state reasons or safety reasons. Its a beautiful home but wouldn't dare ENTER..

"That's a huge radar!" It's not a radar it's a TV satellite dish. Young people now days know nothing!
Watched a show where a big group of 15-16 year olds were told to use a rotary phone. Funny asf..not one knew how it worked. I'm sure most kids do but..nope. These ones didn't have a clue
Y'all are probably too old to know what bitcoin is tbh so the road goes both ways here.
I mean, to be fair... Most people (regardless of age) don't know much about the things that weren't a part of their particular era.
@@cryptidamaranth7205 and nobody cares either...
Lol
This is what we did for fun as kids, drive around at night looking for the old houses but never mansions! Thanks for bringing us along! So fun but safe in my house lol. God bless you all, stay safe. Always pray for protection & you'll be fine.
Would love to see the inside of this massive & unique mansion. Those windows leading to that view is incredible. Also, anyone else think it ironic a golf course on the property with all those windows?! Sounds like a horrible decision. 😂
Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones - or golf balls! LOL
Let’s go back for part 2!
;)
Lets not... We know all we need to about these guys, & some bs movie, from listentening them babble speculation & nonsense about a building we don't even see & they did no research on smh!
@@JustMeELC u mad bro?
@@Amanda--- seems mad as hell to me 🤣🤣🤣
Yes I would not everyone watching is an asshole. It would be cool to see the inside but I enjoyed seeing a place from the inside or out that I know without you guys I would never get to see. Thank you
Not radar 📡 Steve it's what we had in the 80's as satellite dishes. My friend's parent's had a dish so big you could feel it moving in their house.
DirecTV used to have a 6' diameter dish! I've seen them behind old abandoned homes a few times.
My best friend had one in her backyard before Internet, it must have been 10-12 feet across, it was huge lol . It’s used to get tv stations from further away. Or they were anyways
@@kanadiankandy6647 Back in the 80's & 90's they got television stations from other countries. people in the US could watch foreign television channels.
Joey Barrelwilde oh I know lol that’s what I was saying. It was awesome lol
Radar😂😂😂
Love you for taking me where i cant go!! Xoxoxoxo
Wow, Steve & Kyle, working together, one know's Great video coming up & Yes, well worth watching. Not familiar with #3, but now seeing Well Done Guy's.. Mansion for sure, interesting..
Does it bother anybody else he keeps saying “The 13th Ghost”? lol. It’s just “Thirteen Ghosts”. Not the 13th Ghost. 😂
Yeah....and it's not the same house 🙄
Yes LOL
Didn't really notice till you pointed it out. You are correct but it doesn't matter, I knew what he was talkin bout.
Yep. Started with the title of video!🤣
Yess🤣🤣
Thats a deer bone. Probably carried up there by coyotes. They sometimes fight and go their separate ways with what they won in the fight.
That leg bone was far too long to be a deer bone. If that were a deer bone, where was the knee joint? Certainly not that far down the bone. This was a human femur with part of the knee attached and I would say it was female.
Imagine how the coyotes sound out there..sigh ! I would love to live there, really want to see the inside!
Thank you I was wondering what kind of bone that is,😇
@@FrankiesFancy OH it's a human bone OKAY WOW maybe the bone NEEDS to be analyzed for d.n.a,🥺
@@FrankiesFancy
🙈 O M G!! ALREADY!
Big buildup "Premier" to see nothing but the outside of a building...meh
😂
Exactly 🙄
right and a friggin advert every two bloomin seconds....
Same
Well, im really glad they didn't break in. That would not he cool. So kudos to these guys for being polite.
Wow I can't wait the part 2 that's why hit the like immediately hehehe stay safe guys, love to know the story behind that Amazing Glass Mansion.
Literally wasted 25 minutes of my life just to watch three guys walk around in circles talking to each other about a mansion that we didn’t even get to see the inside of.
Thanks saved me 23 minutes lol
I was 12 minutes in & said hell naw! 😂
tHANK U, i'M ABOUT TO WATCH IT.
Screw that. Im only interested on the inside.
Thank you for the update. People like you are why I go straight to the comments.
Only true fans reach the end, love and support you man!
Great video Steve. So glad to see how respectful you guys are. That was a really creepy place you went to. Too many things you could think might have happened there. The bones would have freaked me out! Thank you for sharing. 😊🇺🇸
Imagine sayings we need to mow the roof today😂🤣
It's already happening in a lot of places in the UK. People even grow vegetables on their roof 😂 or lots of flowers 🌸.
Especially the ones you can put in a salad 🥗.
"Eco-Homes" that are built into sides of hills, that kind of thing.
I would love to live like that!
Not the house from 13 Ghosts. Movie was filmed on a Soundstage. This house has NOTHING to do with the movie 13 Ghosts
That house is so beautiful 😍 , such a shame it’s not being used !
This was early attempt at eco friendly housing. All that glass is early solar panels. The grass over so much keeps everything cool.
Imagine having to mow the grass on your roof, must be a maintenance nightmare.
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 the first owner is extremely wealthy beyond your dreams. I doubt the Saudi prince even went inside after it was built.
Cool video guys! The newer release of 13 Ghosts, October 26, 2001, was shot entirely around Lower Mainland, British Columbia.
Keep exploring!! Keep adventuring!!✨✨✨✨
I absolutely love watching your channel. First, it's because of the structures you explore; second, your innocent take on things is so endearing to me.
That said, "the additional underground rooms" are a septic drain field. Definently not a room you want to explore. Haha!
"It's made of wood, kind of odd right? Wood and glass"
Uhmm... Like almost every house?🤔
Most houses are not wood exterior because they can rot easily
I did some research on this home. The guy who owned this and still does died in 2011 but the wife is still living. What's even more interesting the $10,000 property taxes are currently paid and have been paid since 1996
It's wild to me that we have so much abandoned properties but yet we have so many homeless people in the streets
Beautiful property! If it's not currently for sale someone has to own it. Thanks for sharing! 💜✌
I am so glad you were able to upload this and that you have the patience and knowledge to figure it out. I was so worried that we weren't going to get to check it out. My grandfather loved horror movie's and got me hooked when I was a little girl , I'll give my age away Frankenstein and Dracula were in black & white , he would have loved 13 ghost's and especially Bran Stokers Dracula , that would have flipped him out 🐸 I wish I could give you 5,000 like's so you could straight to part 2 🤔
If you can't get into the house now then how you going to have a part 2 filming the inside?
Part 2 is a view of the inside from the drone
There's more to the inside than what can be seen through the glass!
Maybe they will get a bunch of UA-camrs to go in on it and buy the mansion. Surely the building is big enough to have their own studio and adventure/exploration web channel.
I've NEVER been disappointed with his explores until now. Why didn't he wait until he could have access to the inside to do this explore, because this was a big let down!!
Why'd they even bother uploading such a great video?!?!?! 25 minutes of fuc**** walking around calling things by the wrong names? Most explorers wouldn't have wasted the time for us to watch a ton of nothing...
Love, love, love this home!!! Gorgeous property!!! Love the structure!!! Yes, make it your home! Check out the origin 1st! Good luck & thank you for sharing this fabulous property!!!❤️
This is Arthur Godfrey estate. A Saudi prince built that house when he bought it from Arthur. It’s actually for sale along with other homes on the property
Wrong estate, have a google.
If they could afford to build this house, it probably has one heck of a good air conditioner in there.....and maybe blackout drapes too......love this place!!!!
But if half of it is underground, it would naturally be cooler.
It was built for a Saudi Prince.......
So price was no option! 💸💸💸💸
Here is my comment: you brought me all the way here and didn't go inside! About the bones, animals carry pieces around and fight fight over them. You must do a part 2.
Loved it! This home is an echo friendly. It’s designed to be part of the environmental architecture so it doesn’t take away from its beauty. It’s intended to be self sustaining e.g. the glass to bring in sun, warmth and underground/grass to cool off. That’s also why it seems partly underground. The inside if true to its purpose, should also be echo friendly and/or blend in with environment. Perhaps that’s why it’s all boarded up. Extreme weather would demolish it. That said, it’s creepy!
Please, please let us know if you are successful in securing photos of the inside.
Keep up the great work and making us part of this adventure. You guys ROCK! Be safe!
Eco-Friendly my friend 😉
There is a creepy vibe to this place ..Very cool design but maybe not a great history.
Kids these days are HILARIOUS.
"It's made of wood!"
Steve you have officially become my favorite podcast show! I find myself drowning in episodes watching you wander through these spooky and sometimes downright Scary Mansions but what I love is that you seem so genuinely fascinated with these decaying and dilapidated structures! Real talk, I am too! I just don't have the balls to go in any of'em like you do! LOL
@Freaktograph did this mansion a few weeks ago and the owner nicely asked him to delete it because of all the vandalism. I'm not saying you should delete it. Just letting you know you may be contacted by him. And that would be an amazing house for UA-camrs.
Actually, nobody knows where it is technically.
prolly hiding something and doesn’t want people finding it 😳
@@ButterTheSpank Could be since afterwards he boarded up everything.
@@joeybarrelwilde if you look through all the comments you'll see that people have found the location of the house.
Yall shoulda tried harder to get it, you dont come across a place like that and not see inside come on!
10:18 - lol! That's a t.v. satellite dish. Much smaller today. They were monstrous when they first started making them :)
It's a radar😂😂😂😂😂😂
West Virginia Sunflower they call em now lol
We had one of those gigantic satellite dishes when I was growing up, as a younger kid. I loved it because I could watch my Nickelodeon shows & then tune into the central or pacific time zones & watch the same shows again. Snick. Lol. Loved it.
@@jamiejudd7146 Because it is sooooo expensive to remove, my Father-in-Law grows ivy of different kinds on it. You can barely see it now. It a giant ball of beautiful ivy.
The architecture is amazing . all these mansions really need people to live in them . so many homeless people and so sad to see a gorgeous home just wasting away. We normal people can't afford these homes but it would be a dream come true
Thirteen Ghosts is still one of my favorite movies. It’s so hard to get a good back story for a horror movie that isn’t too cheesy. So this is super cool!
Are you gonna do part 2? I'd really like to know what this looks like inside, and I think the views from those windows would be amazing!!
Ty for this video. The Mansion looks like the glass Mansion from the 13 th Ghost. It's Awesome !!!! ♥️
It really does that the first thing I thought!!! Awesome catch!
My wife and I have the thirteenth ghost movie, we both enjoy it alot, just by the layout of the house does look exactly like the house in the movie.
@Christine Herrington , could be but the government is too dam smart for some house to exist
@Christine Herrington , the government wouldn't use a house the is nothing but glass with with glass bubble over the swimming pool. Like I said the government is too smart for that. As for the animal bones they could have been killed by another animal.
@@buforddrake7635 13th Ghost was filmed in Canada around Vancouver and Surrey BC. Also wikipedia stated the Manson used in 13th Ghost was built for the film in 5 weeks. So who knows.
how come this video went up at 11pm last night, then was removed?, and now back on. very strange???. excellent video non the less steve. keep staying safe, and uploading exceptional videos
This is one of my favorite horror movies! I would be absolutely losing my mind.
First video I've watched you having fun and relaxed! I am subed to your channel.
Would love to see you this relaxed and having fun again
13 Ghosts was filmed in England I think. Love this house!
was in BC Canada
@@Lazerchicken69 Lower Mainland, British Columbia.
BC Canada
wow just wow and it's not all vandalized that's even cooler
It was vandalized a few times but a golf course bought it and fixed it up
At least a mansion with good design- it is amazing what atrocities people with $ can produce
Out of all the videos that you took, this was the best mansion that i have seen. I wished you were able to go inside though. but thanks for using your drone since we were able to see a little inside the house and outside as well.
It would be neat if it had an atrium. Awesome house. Makes me want a house with a lot of windows, great natural light.
Id like to know what's in ther basement/underground, secret rooms, secret panels etc lol
Nothing in there
You would have to find out if there is even such a thing first. The vent he pointed to and said it was probably for a basement or underground area? Yeah, that was a ventilation tube for a septic tank.
That isn't a radar, its an old satellite dish.
Im completely HEAD OVER HEALS IN LOVE WITH THIS HOUSE!!! this is the best house i have EVER seen! Whoever designed this amazing house i needto know!!
No offence you youngins but less talky..more housey k
Totally agree
I'm on the opposite end. This is one of the most hideous buildings I've ever seen.
I started watch SOME OF YOUR VIDEO . SO I ENJOY . I SUBSCRIBED. HOPE TO SEE MORE INTERESTING PLACES .
I literally live I the neighborhood that is right next to it , I see that house everyday on my way out, there's a good amount history behind it. Really sad how much it's been broken into over the past couple of years, it just got boarded up within the past 3 years or so. My friends and I used to go up there all the time and walk around! The security system in the building still works and they do check ups on the house every couple of months or so. The police will come if the alarm goes off trust me :) i would know lol
AMAZING STORY , DO U KNOW ANYTHING MORE ON THE HOUSE ,IF SO WOULD U SHARE ???????
I am interested in purchasing, does the property deal with realtors?
I like it is it still on the market
@@ladygind7615 Search
Loudoun's Beacon Hill
@@ladygind7615 Curiously asking if you ever researched the information beyond this thread / video & contacted realtor(s)?
That is the most amazing building I’ve ever seen it is both unique in appearance and ominous looking and I watched the movie the 13 th ghosts and loved the movie ! Great video!
Steve looks exactly like a friend of mine i once had.. he would buy me beers when i was broke af.. not a single bone of judgment in him.... we use to ride in the night... hang out on rail tracks discussing about life... good times
You need to find him. He's rare and you were blessed...
I like your show
DO IT! UA-cam House for abandoned explorers!
That looks like the house they used in the movie ‘The Glass House’.
I’m always baffled by houses or mansions that end up abandoned. I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t sell it off cheap just to save it. Makes no sense.
This house didn't belong to a drug lord, any type of prince, it isn't anything paranormal, nor did the person just up and leave either. The original owner of this house was a business man who when to prison for a Ponzi scheme.
I also know there is no part 2 to this video for the inside.
I grew up in a mansion (22 rooms) that was part solar (a lot of windows). So hard to clean the windows and they did not open. This actually reminds me so much of it. Probably closest to my old home compared to any other home I have seen before.
It feels like I'm gonna have a birthday before this video premieres...
Well happy birthday,
@@rosamolina8733 That's actually tomorrow, and I was trying not to mention that. So now I can say I WILL have a birthday before the next upload. Lol
That's cute and if you do Happy Birthday 😇😇
@@NeverMetTheGuy mine tooo 30th... I consider this an earlier bday urban exploration 😂
@@ginarozario8945 - 36th, so not exactly the most exciting of birthdays...
Thanks everybody. I was trying to avoid all the celebratory things, but it's genuinely appreciated; birthdays have never been my thing, I'm more the Friday night type.
Definitely need part 2 with more info on previous owners, or present owners! Don't leave us hanging. Hit the town, & find dinner with chatty Kathy to tell all 😁
It wasn’t actually a drug dealer but a Saudi prince owned this house and a golf course bought it in 2020
Love that house! Love all the windows and would love to be there and see the inside.
Love to see inside...the bathrooms and kitchen would be fabulously retro specially after getting a peek of the mirrored panels via the drone footage
That would be cool!
Part 2.. let's go.... Wish you could of gotten inside. It's a weird looking house. Thanks for video.
It looks something you would build like in Minecraft lol
Joshua Taft The top view, your right.
Yeah
Oh come on. It’s animal bones.
Yall have to go back and get inside of that house. I bet its an underground to it. Somebody owns it for sure
AGREE
I can't find a movie called "The 13th Ghost" - I did find one however, called "Thirteen Ghosts"
It’s ecosmart and also good for protection from cold weather
Hi Steve! This was a great find!! This house is beautiful! Hope your doing well and glad to see more and more awesome content from ya. Sending love and support from Kentucky
Always interesting to wonder about the back story
For being abandon it looked like it had some brand new boards on the window and the grass just look like it has not been mowed in a couple months because it would be a lot taller if it hasn't been mowed in a long time
Looks like it wasn't finished then abandoned
good analysis ☝️👍👍
Imagine being in this building at night alone.
So happy I found your channel..Yea it totally looks like the house from 13th ghost..i loooove that movie...I would love to visit this mansion ...im subscribing and bingeing your channel...Great video guys
10:16 - def NOT a radar, lol! It's a satellite dish for t.v. when they 1st started making them. Now they are much smaller & mount on your fence or roof :)
Beautiful home would love to see the inside though.
This gives me when a stranger calls vibes
IT SOULD
AS IT SHOULD...!!!
You got me hooked on this stuff !
Go back with a metal detector. The vent pipe in yard is an underground bunker. Find the grown over metal hatch to get in.
Why don’t you go inside? I was so looking forward to seeing what was underground 😒
Didn't want to break in but there is a part 2 coming of the inside soon :)
Try finding out more about the building. This is too much of a spectacular house design to be abandoned. There has to be a grand story behind it. I love history of a any kind as well. 😬
You must of broke in then:
@@SteveRonin is this the actual house in 13 ghosts?
@@mehchocolate1257 No its not
I really wanted to see if there were underground rooms and what might be inside
The roof covered in grass is not a poor attempt at disguise. It is called a "green roof" and they are becoming more popular as they provide an environmentally friendly, free source of insulation, allowing your home to remain cooler in Summer and warmer in Winter without the use of traditional insulation in the ceiling space. In a house that large, heating and cooling costs would be really high so introducing elements like this is a smart, effective way of reducing those costs.
It also provides an area that can be used for recreation or to grow plants like vegetables, protected from animals that may otherwise destroy them if they were grown on the ground, like rabbits, etc.
Be cool if you guys bought it and filmed the restoration of it! I want to see inside as much as you guys! Steve I am with you, I believe there are under ground rooms, the pool is under ground.
